Bloomfield Township police arrested a man accused of trying to abduct several women from a shopping center in broad daylight Thursday.

In a prepared statement, police say a 49-year-old Pontiac man turned himself at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday. No charges have been filed pending further investigation.

“The media coverage helped convince the subject to turn himself into the police department,” Police Sgt. James Gallagher said.

Four women told police the same man approached them at a Bloomfield Township shopping mall and tried to lure them into his van with the offer of money.

In one case, the man used physical force.

The first contact occurred at approximately 1:30 p.m. when the suspect approached a woman sitting in her vehicle outside Rite Aid and offered her $100,000 to leave with him, according to a crime timeline police put together.

The next contact occurred a few minutes later at 1:32 p.m. when the suspect approached a woman inside the store and offered her money to leave with him.

Roughly five minutes later, the same man approached a third woman outside Qdoba and tried to physically abduct her from her vehicle. That incident occurred about 1:37 p.m. and the man appeared to flee the area in the red van after struggling with the woman.

But moments later, the suspect approached a fourth woman inside Qdoba at approximately 1:45 p.m. and offered her money.

On Friday, police released a surveillance video of the suspect walking into a Rite Aid, plus a photo of the red van traveling down Woodward.

Witnesses said a second person was inside the van, but no mention was made about a second arrest. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Bloomfield Township Police at 248-433-7755.
